Summary
This chapter seeks to demonstrate how the Brazilian legal system regulates the role of individuals and institutions in preserving and defending the environment and other important assets for future generations. In the first part, the chapter begins by addressing how the interests of future generations and the preservation of the environment are viewed under the Brazilian Constitution, and how the mechanisms that protect collective rights and interests work in general.
